Is segregation on campuses becoming the norm?A recent event at the University College London has highlighted how student Islamic groups around the country are segregating women and men in their events

Last week I was contacted by a number of students who raised concerns about planned segregation at an event featuring a man named Hamza Tzortzis at the University College London (UCL).

My organisation, Student Rights, published an opinion piece by a student present at the event which highlights the complicity of the university in enforcing such a policy, and the story has also made national news.

UCL's attempt to claim that it only became aware of attempted segregation on Sunday is a disgraceful deflection, given that students had been writing to them to complain about this prior to event. What is more concerning however, is the portrayal of this as an isolated incident, when segregation on our campuses is actually far more common.
